Menopause Support Group

Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.

That must be frustrating for you. You should have your own fan and some ice water or just cold water always at hand. My flashes don't last too long, about a minute and I hope yours aren't too long either.
Sending cool thoughts your way!

They stink that's for sure. Don't have any great advice. A fan for your desk as hotmom1 suggested would be the first thing I would get.

If I can get my face in front of an a.c., fan, even been known to open the freezer and let that blow on me, lol, then I am o.k. At night it's throwing the covers off then a few minutes later get chills and grab for them again.

We will survive this.... I think.

Hang in there
